Lowered the old Girl today what do you think ?

Hi Guys

After allot of thinking i went for 60/40 springs and gas damper kit, could not bring myself to be endlessly fiddling with coiliovers 

I am well chuffed wanted to keep my 15" wheels and wanted tires level with the arches, allot of people said i would need to go bigger than 15" to get this, so i took a gamble and i think it's paid off 

Have a look and see what you think, don't mid if you think it look naff i really like it

was gona say it like it needs to be lower at the front, but the 4th picture makes it look spot on.
I think it looks really nice mate, well done.


How does it feel to drive now? don't care about comfort. has it improved the handling?

normally drops a couple of mil over the next fews days from fitting, but looks cool

Not sure why you want to keep the original wheels

Looks wicked mate! Was thinking of doing this drop myself. You've defiantly made the case stronger. just a few questions tho:
What spring and shock kit is it your using?
Does the harder suspension make it alot more uncomfortable than stock?
Are there any rubbing issues etc?

Cheers!!!

Well i did want to keep it standard looking, i have managed to get hold of a set of 15" TSW Hockenheim R's which are quite period for it, mid 90's and all that, just deciding weather to leave it standard of get the TSW's powder coated in Graphite grey and stick them on not sure yet

looking great m8! i had a 60/40 drop on my mk3 polo which looked perfect. and ive been thinking about doin the same to the golf for months now. probs been put off by every one on here sayin there will be massive gaps, coilovers are the only way to get it lookin half decent bla bla. ur car and few others on here with 60/40ive seen have made my mind up. i will go for the same make as my polo had, H&R, very good make they are, if more pricey.
again looks brillaint!
